Description

Literacy Beyond Text Comprehension: A New Approach to Reading. This book presents a new model of reading as problem-solving, which challenges traditional views of reading comprehension. The authors argue that readers bring their own goals and characteristics to the situation, shaping how they interpret and respond to reading tasks. By applying this RESOLV model to various reading situations, the authors demonstrate that there is no single understanding of a task, but rather individual perspectives that influence reading behavior and comprehension. This book provides evidence for a more nuanced understanding of reading and its importance in teaching and assessment. Written by internationally recognized learning sciences scholars, Literacy Beyond Text Comprehension advances current research on reading while aiming to inform a broader audience interested in the teaching and assessment of reading.
